Hi, I am having a problem specifying which type of ports scan is being run.
In my config file, I have: Nmap (NASL wrapper)[radio]:TCP scanning technique : = SYN scan And do not have another line like this, it's the only one. When I run my scan, I do ps -ef to see what command nessus is passing to nmap, and I see: nmap -n -P0 -oG /usr/local/var/nessus/tmp/nmap-10.10.10.10-83168732 -sT -p 1-65535 To me, this is nmap doing a connect scan, which is causing an applicationt o crash. If I nmap on it manually and do a SYN scan, the application does not crash, which is the reason I'd like nessus to use NMAP doing a SYN scan. Anybody know why Nessus isn't passing nmap the -sS option instead of the -sT option?

You may want to upgrade now as Nessus 2.x versions < 2.2.9 may have problems with plugins in a few weeks; ie, see: <http://mail.nessus.org/pipermail/nessus-announce/2007-May/msg00000.html >. > When I scan with only the "build-in" Plugins, nessus do an portscan > bevor all other checks and scan only found hosts.

The lines from nessusd.messages that you included in your message aren't helpful in diagnosing your problem. They just show Nessus starting one scan and launching plugins in the Settings family (eg, ssh_settings.nasl, .. dont_scan_settings.nasl). These plugins are always launched and just update settings in each target host's KB but don't actually send any packets. Are you able to show the log lines from scans before and after updating plugins? And perhaps with lines relating to the scanning plugins that you've configured?
